Activity... Every Grand American Adventures trip includes a variety of included and optional activities to ensure that every day is dynamic and unique. From hiking the scenic trails to horse back riding or mountain biking, your tour leader will organise the activities and fit them neatly into the days' schedule. All that's important is that you're relatively fit and keen to participate. The activities that we offer are great for both novices and for those more experienced, so, why not try something new on your next holiday and make the most of the Grand American Adventures experience!

...and Fun! Besides the many included activities and guided day hikes, there are often numerous optional activities from which to choose. Snorkelling, rafting, glacier trekking and even a scenic helicopter flight are just a few examples. Optional activities are not included in the tour price, so you're able to select interesting activities according to your own taste and budget. The tour leader will be happy to answer any questions and organise these activities locally on your behalf. And with our longstanding relationships with local outfitters, we will be sure to get you the preferential Grand American Adventures rate.

Accommodation Types - North America The type of accommodation for these tours is as different as the unique lands they explore. For tours in the USA, Alaska and Canada, a combination of tourist class lodges, cabins, hotels and motels suited to the individual areas is used.

For tours in Mexico, we stay at budget or tourist class hotels and cabins that are clean and comfortable, thought not always with the same level of amenities as similar types of accommodation north of the border. However they are sure to make you feel at home.

Accommodation Types - South America For South American tours, the accommodation varies with each region we visit. Lodging tours are fully accommodated on a twin share basis and may range from a comfortable 3 star beachfront hotel to a rustic mountain lodge. On occasion, there may be a multi-shared room but the local surroundings will certainly compensate. Please see individual tour dossiers for more information.

A sleeping bag is not required on our North America and Mexico tours. For South America tours, please see the individual tour dossiers.
